The NFL hit Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey hard for two violations of the league’s player safety rules.
Humphrey was fined $22,511 for illegal use of the helmet in the third quarter last Thursday against the Bengals, and fined $11,255 for facemasking in the fourth quarter.
The facemask was called, but the use of the helmet was not. The league’s disciplinary department often sees penalties that the officials missed — and other times chooses not to fine players for personal fouls that were called on the field.
Humphrey’s total of $33,766 in fines was the most any player had his paycheck docked in the NFL this week.
